In the nick of time

Agni is put in a cell with dangerous women and she gets scared. They bully her and make her feel uncomfortable,

Woman 1:"hey girl what's your name"

Agni: "my name is Agni"

woman 2:"such a weird name"

Woman 3:"what does it mean?"

Agni:" it means fire"

Woman 1:"so will you burn this police cell down and help us escape? answer me foolish girl! "

Agni ignores the woman,and asks the warder to give her some water. The female warder brings a cup of water and gives it to Agni. Before she could take a sip of it,the second woman grabs the cup from her, drinks a little, and splashes the rest on Agni's face,this makes her lose her temper and she argues with them,

Agni: "what nonsense, can't you see?don't you have manners?"

Woman 2:"hey girl,you should talk to me with some manners,talk to me with respect! "

Agni: "you are expecting me to have respect when you don't have it for yourself"

Woman 3:"such attitude is not acceptable in this cell,we will teach you the biggest lesson of your entire life"

Agni: " oh please, you are older than me that's why am restricting myself,but you women think it is an advantage, I've dealt with people like you my whole life so the three of you are no match for me,I'll show you "

The woman try to fight Agni but she overpowers all of them and beats them up. The prison warder hears the fight and she comes to the scene. The three gangster women accuse Agni of causing trouble and starting the fight,Agni tries to explain herself but the warder doesn't want to hear it. She brings Agni out of the cell,takes her to an empty dark room and Agni freaks out,

Agni: "where have you brought me?"

Warder:"torture room"

Agni: "but why,I haven't done anything wrong at all"

Warder:"simply because you are the town head doesn't mean you may do as you please,this is not your mansion, I'll torture you! "

Agni:" no! am telling the truth believe me!"

The warder asks her fellow police officers to tie Agni up,when they do,the warder starts hitting Agni with a big rope as she cries out in pain. Denis who is in charge of the the night shift at the police station arrives and he saves Agni from the torture thereafter punishing the warder for torturing a person who is in custody,

Denis: "stop it! how dare you"

Warder:" she was causing trouble for the entire station by showing off her strength "

Denis: "keep quiet! Agni? tell me what happened"

Agni: " those women in the cell have been harassing me,yet this woman did nothing,those hooligans teamed up so they could beat me,but when I decide to stand up for myself,she tortures me!"

Denis:" you can't punish her like a criminal, she is just in our custody,now you will face your own punishment and so will those thugs in there "

Denis takes the warder to the punishment room,only for officers,and gives her a severe punishment, one that is worse than that which she gave Agni. He does the same with the women thugs,he gives Agni new clothes and a new and comfortable cell. Agni tells Denis how she got in jail and he promises to help out. Salma,Ishan,Mark,Mirabel and Rahab reach the station to bring Agni food. When Salma sees the state in which Agni is in,she is torn apart and feels guilty for not doing anything to help her granddaughter,

Salma: "am sorry princess,I made a promise to your mother, but I've failed to keep it by letting you stay in this horrible place"

Agni: "sweet grandma stop blaming yourself am fine over here"

Anjali: "you are smiling when this place is horrible, are you even aware that there will be a court case tomorrow and we have no evidence yet"

Ishan: "Agni, how does it feel been here am sure its horrible, although I know my lioness is going to figure out a way to get out of this place"

Agni: "now that's my boy,always positive and emotionally strong,I love your spirit"

Rahab: "the truth shall always prevail no matter what so let's not worry"

Agni: "exactly aunt Rahab, I'll take the food and eat it later,all of you go home so long am going to be fine"

The family leave the station and Agni is left feeling sad seeing her granny's situation, " oh grandma even am sad and scared,am not sure if I'll ever leave this place or not. I had to master some courage though,so you wouldn't get worried as for my haters,am coming for you "

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the officers take Agni to the court. The whole family go there to listen to the hearing from the judge. Matteo and Denis are not yet at the court and this gets Agni very worried. Matteo and Denis reach the police lab but find the reports missing and Matteo gets very devastated. Meanwhile,the court proceedings begin,Agni's lawyer tries his best to defend her,but all his efforts seem to be in vain. After minutes of arguing the judge decides to pass his judgement,

Judge: "after moments of arguing and consideration and arguments, with no evidence to back the argument, I've decided to pass my for final judgment and that is,miss Agni is..."

Before he could finish passing the judgment, a voice is heard from the back,stopping the judgment,

Matteo: "stoooop! don't pass the judgment, the evidence is here!"

Agni: "Matteo,its about time"

Matteo and Denis show the evidence to the judge which proves that Agni's fingerprints don't match those on the bag. The judge reconsiders her decision by declaring Agni innocent and free against all charges.
